Thomas Culhaven is the ancestor of the founding fathers of Culhaven, Illinois, and he wont go down without a fight! He may be a senior citizen, but when Mayor Mort Cramden and his illustrious council get ambitious, it is Toms land on the line.

Hes been working to think of a plan, with the aid of his dog, Buda pet nobody else can see or hear. With their foolproof plan in mind, Tom pleads sensibly with Cramden one last time. When the mayor refuses to cooperate, Tom does what has to be done: he cuts off half the mayors mustache.
Tom is thrown in jail but soon released on two hundred dollars bail. Once free, he realizes his simple scissorsnip has become big news. Apparently, the town sees it as symbolism. Of what, Tom isnt sure, but his harebrained scheme might just work and save his old home. The Mayors Mustache is a commentary on corporate greed and the desperation of old age, but it is also a story of small-town hope and the power of one man to change an entire community.
